Chapter 1167 ??*??(ˊ?ˋ*)??*?The First Good News From Little Witch Anne

a……

In the barracks in the southeastern part of Erasia, where more than a thousand soldiers are entrenched, and the blue-and-gold-rimmed griffin flag is hanging high, in the largest tent, Queen Catherine is frowning, watching In the middle of the tent, the cowhide topographic map of the Kingdom of Erasia spread out on the ground was in a daze. On it, many small wooden figures and houses were used to represent the situation of the enemy and us, as well as the situation of some major towns on the continent of Erasia. .

At this time, the terrible and shocking signs of the enemy's situation made her and the few generals around her who were also frowning feel extremely worried! Because, so far, through the investigations of the generals and scouts she sent out and the summary of various intelligence feedbacks from various channels, they have been able to roughly guess the extent of the current fall of the Kingdom of Erathia.

Even if there is still relatively little information given back, even if they landed on the Erasia continent, it will only take about 20 days, but she can easily see based on the current information that the situation is really not optimistic! Today, on the land of the Kingdom of Erasia, there are basically no places belonging to the human side, ruled by a certain lord and organized to resist invasion, so, on the map displayed in front of them, each one The towns and strongholds that are extremely important to Erasia are all marked with the mark of Negan or Ofer, and what belongs to Erasia is the small area of ​​Calliad City where they landed. ...

In short, the situation is very bad, much worse than what she could have guessed and estimated when she just landed in Erasia.

However, no matter how bad the situation is, they always have to go on!

After all, since she has come to Erathia, since she has chosen to reorganize the rivers and mountains, she must not just watch Negan and Ofer's demons wreak havoc on her homeland and slaughter and enslave her people, nor can she bear to watch Watching the land where she was born and raised her sink, let alone allow her father, King Griffin, to die tragically, and then the huge kingdom is occupied by Negan and Over, who are suspected of being behind the scenes! !

And just when Queen Catherine and those generals were a little helpless about the current very bad situation, they didn't know what to do next, and where to start to break through this passive situation that was very unfavorable to Erasia, suddenly, A guard strode in from outside the tent.

'Report! '

'queen! A Griffin Knight came outside. He claimed to be a messenger who came overnight from Calliad City. He came here specially to deliver the good news to you! ! '

The guard spoke excitedly.

Obviously, for those soldiers who are fighting on the land of Erasia, but are bumping into walls everywhere, the thing they most want to hear right now is probably only the word "good news"! so,

After seeing the soldier who didn't know why he was able to ride that ferocious griffin to report and heard what the other party said, he hurried in to report.

"Griffon rider? Good news?"

"Ah!"

Catherine couldn't help being stunned when she heard the word 'good news', but she quickly recovered and smiled, not taking it too seriously.

"Let him in!"

"I want to see, what else can surprise me in Calliad City?"

Presumably, a certain little guy is really capable. She must have beaten off the invading Negans, and then hastily sent someone to come to her to ask for credit, right?

She knew that the little guy's spells were indeed quite powerful, presumably those Negan's demons must have suffered a lot from the other party's hands, right? Of course, the other party's employment fee was also very high, which almost made her vomit blood! However, if the other party can keep the important port of landing and the small town of Calliad for her when she returns to Calliad a month later, perhaps the money spent is not too much. injustice!

Soon, when Catherine was staring at the map in a daze and thinking wildly, a soldier who looked a little excited walked in with big strides under the guidance of the guard just now.

"Say it!"

"What good news is it? Calliad City was attacked, and the enemy was driven away by that little witch?"

After the other party finished saluting, without waiting for the other party to speak, Catherine asked the soldier in front of him who was wearing a strange leather armor to protect against the cold and wind, carrying a bow and arrow, and had several small axes stuck in his leather pouch behind him.

'ah? '

'No! no! '

‘Your Majesty the Queen! The city of Calliad was not attacked, nor did it see any enemies! '

The messenger who didn't know why Queen Catherine in front of her suddenly asked such nonsensical words, after hesitating and being surprised, she answered honestly.

"??"

"Then what good news can there be? Could it be that she ran out alone to mop up or attack the enemy's patrol?"

Unexpectedly, it wasn't because the city of Calliad was attacked, but this actually made Catherine, who hadn't paid much attention to it, a little surprised.

'Report! '

'Neither! ! '

"Ah!"

"Forget it, let's talk about it..."

Finally, Catherine took a rare breath and smiled wryly, then had to give up, not going to continue guessing.

'Report to the queen! '

Witch Anne led the army to break through Mikhan City the afternoon before yesterday, killed more than 2,000 enemies, and completely occupied the entire city and area. Currently, they are sweeping the surrounding area of ​​Mikhan City and waiting for the opportunity to march towards Prince and Telia City ! '

As if he was afraid that other people in this tent would not hear, the messenger directly used his best ability, loudly and proudly read what he knew, and at the same time took out a roll of parchment from his bag, Then he held it with both hands in a regular manner, and handed it to Her Majesty the Queen who seemed to be a little stunned by the news he brought.

"!!"

"This is impossible!!"

However, it didn't take long for the messenger to be happy, nor did the other generals and nobles in the tent come to their senses, but they all heard the queen's exclamation.

"If I remember correctly, including the city of Calliad, we left her with less than 200 soldiers in total, and most of them were old and weak. What would she use to capture the land occupied by Negan? Secret Khan City?!"

"Soldier, are you trying to lie to me?!"

Catherine's tone became severe, and she even began to wonder if the guy in front of her was Negan's spy. Moreover, if she remembered correctly, their army or the Kingdom of Erasia did not have the Griffon Knights!

Because the griffin itself is a grumpy and savage powerful creature. Although it can be tamed and used as a mount, ordinary soldiers can't tame that kind of creature. Even riding a griffin is no big deal. However, when shooting arrows in the sky, there is no guarantee of accuracy at all. As for bringing other things, let alone, she knows how much the load-bearing capacity of griffins is. They are not horses, nor are they dragons. Even taking a grown man into the sky requires extraordinary talent.

'King, queen! ! '

'Specifically, you should read this good news first...'

Seeing the furious Queen Catherine, and looking at the generals and guards around who were faintly holding their sword hilts, the messenger dared to delay, so he hurriedly sent the scroll of parchment that was sealed with magic in his hands to report the good news Handed over tremblingly.

"..."

"snort!"

Queen Catherine snorted coldly and snatched the letter. She frowned after looking at the magic clay seal on it, but in the end, she tore it open and quickly began to read it.

"!!"

After just one glance, Catherine knew subconsciously that this letter might really be written by that weird little girl witch, because it is so unique that ordinary people can't easily learn it even if they want to pretend to be it.

Queen Catherine's elder sister:

'Hi~! '

(??????▽??????)

'How are you doing? But no matter whether you are good or not, they are pretty good now anyway, and they are having fun... By the way, you must not be killed by Negan’s dungeon lords, because you still owe him a lot A lot of small money was not given, one thousand gold coins a day, but people are counting the days on their little fingers! '

s(*??︶??*)ゞ

'The thing is...'

^-^)o

"From the day you left, people started to sweep the area of ​​Kaliad City according to what you said, and then they accidentally took down the city of Mikhan. Now they are cleaning up this area. I believe that in the future Soon, you will be able to take down Prince and Telia City, how about it, isn't he super powerful? ! '

(灬??ω??灬)

'Originally, people didn't want to come out to do so many things, because the money you gave me wasn't enough at all! However, it's all like this anyway, so I have no choice but to continue! Speaking of it, the cause of the incident actually started when someone used very, very, very powerful diplomacy to persuade a group of fleeing Erathia soldiers...'

(*^▽^*)

Annie began to describe how she was "domineering" (X off) in a long, long letter... describing how she was brave and eloquent (fireball?? threat) to convince each and every team of Egypt The defeated soldiers, refugees, wizards, knights, gladiators and knights of the Kingdom of Lasia joined her team.

Of course, there must be some other messy creatures among them...

Then, she swept all the way, captured many strongholds that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Erasia, liberated and incorporated many people, discovered many novel things and robbed (X off)... dug a lot of treasures, And later took advantage of the trend to take down the city of Mihan.

This paragraph was written in a very long and messy manner, which made Queen Catherine frown! However, it was these very long and messy pages that allowed her to figure out how the other party miraculously did all that.

'correct! Someone rescued a guy named Jill Knight from the prison in the southwest of Mihan. He said he knew you? But that annoying guy has already been sent back to Calliad City to guard the gate. If you go back at this time, you will definitely see him! '

(?????????-)??

'And oh! '

'I found out before, and I asked after burning many of the hell cavemen that I only caught... It seems to say that there is an entrance to the underground world in the area near Calliad and Mikhan City , there seems to be a dungeon of Negan in it, the name seems to be called Trinis? '

く(＾_??)ゝ?

'Anyway, if I have time in the future, I will definitely go to the underground world to take a look and help you investigate clearly! '

o(*??︶??*)o

'alright! '

'That's how things are. People didn't want to write this letter, but those annoying guys, those guys who claim to be the nobles of Erasia have been asking people to write it, so if you see it, remember to write back ! '

o(??^｀)o

——Anne Hastur, XX Day of Chipmunk Week, XX, XX

'...'

‘Your Majesty, what’s the matter? '

‘Princess Catherine? '

'His Majesty? ! '

'? ? ? '

Seeing that their Majesty the Queen just stood there dumbfounded after reading the somewhat long letter, and the curious and worried generals and guards next to her couldn't help casting worried and questioning looks at her. .

"..."

"I already know roughly what happened. He didn't lie, that little guy, she did take down Mikhan City!"

"It's just that the process is a bit complicated. I will explain the specifics to you later!"

Put away the roll of parchment letters, Queen Catherine, who didn't intend to let her generals and nobles see this letter with some strange formats and completely out of etiquette, comforted those who wanted to gather around After leading the nobles, they looked at the messenger who was waiting anxiously:

"you!"

"Take him down to eat something and find a tent for him to rest for a while, and then remember to ask the clerk of the camp to give him a reward of ten gold coins, and bring him here to get a reply after dawn tomorrow!"

After quickly rolling up the long parchment letter, Catherine directly explained this to the guard while the anxious messenger waited.

'yes! obey! ! '

Looking at the queen's expression, and based on the other party's arrangements and rewards for the messenger, how could the guard not know the authenticity of the good news from the city of Calliad that the messenger just said? Therefore, he responded with some excitement, and hurriedly turned around and dragged the messenger out, intending to ask the truth after going out.

"..."

"Everyone!"

"It is indeed good news!"

"Calliad City, there is basically no danger around our back road... Surprisingly, the little wizard we hired is now leading her 'army' to sweep around Mihan City, If everything goes well, after we complete the tactical goal of coming here, maybe Prince and the area of ​​Telia City may be completely recovered by her, maybe?"

'! ! '

'What? ! '

'That's impossible! '

'absurd! ! '

‘I don’t understand, Her Majesty Queen Catherine, that little witch, where did she get the army? ! '

'This must be a conspiracy by Negan or Ofer! ! '

'His Majesty! You don't really believe in the absolute impossibility of that happening, do you? '

'...'

Sure enough, just as Catherine expected, just as she spoke, the generals and nobles all exclaimed, and just like her previous reaction, they couldn't believe that the impossible would happen matter.

After all, that sounds even more inconceivable than the rebellion initiated by the remnants of the former empire when she was still the princess of the Kingdom of Erathia and she was only seventeen years old? But no matter what, Catherine knew that the messenger and the little girl should not have deceived them! Besides, this matter cannot be faked, and she will definitely verify and confirm it through some channels.
